I THINK THIS OVER I
NUMBER FOUR.
Tho dioti€tetry says that a parasite is
"A living organism that lives on or in
came other organism and from it derives
ronrishnient," Auother definition is
"An obsegnietio oycophent who lives at
another's expense." Do you realize that
there are parasites on the body poli -
tie? Moot doge have fleas, and we pro•
mine that .most towns have parasites,
Daviel Hamm Sala that sone fleas are
good fora dog, as they keep him from
brooding ou being a dog; but probably
the dog is not philosopher enough to tip.
!eremite the great advantages ho derives
from the fleas. We must confess that
car sympathies are with Tiro in his
view of the ease, for we cannot figure
Put juct what good our local parasites
do to Wiughani.
We can continue our analogy with
other domestic animals. The cow eats
bay, but oho gives milk; the sheep seems
to live on notbiug much of anything and
gives wool; ubiquitous Biddy, the hen,
.goes the sheep one better, she eats up
bugs and injurious insects and converts
them foto eggs. But the parasite—the
Bea on the dog, the tick on the sheep, the
fly en the cow (Biddy the hen, has her
troubles too) --all these parasites just
amok blood and give nothing except an-
noyance. Parasites are mot useful them.
twelves, and they prevent others from be-
ing as useful as they might bo.
Tho parasites on our business com-
munity are in about the samo class. You
know the ones we mean. They take
everything and give nothing. They en-
joy police protection and fire protection
and every other advantage we have; but
if they have a dollar to spend they send
it toisomelmail order hoose that pays no
taxes here and does nothing for Wing-
bem. The parasite wears out our
sidewalks with shoes bought in Toronto.
He uses our roads. The buggy was
bought by mail, and so was the harness.
If the horse got sick he would like to
get some veterinarylimental scientist to
give it absent treatment. He probably
regrets that he cannot have his hair cut
by mail also. He buys books, clothing
and furniture by mail.
Nothing local is quite as good as an
imported article, according to this indl•
victual. 6;1Ie thinks the local tailor can-
not make clothes good enough for him,
although we know many residents of
large cities who continue to get their
clothes made at their old homes in the
smalleri places. They find the designs
exactly the same, and the cut and mat-
erials just as good, while the price is
much lower because the expense of do-
ing business in )the small towns is so
ranch less,
The parasite, however, prides himself
on his superiority in the choice of every-
thing, and rather estimates that our
local dealers are incapable of appreciat-
ing good materials.
Some residents of Wingham have
done some Ijtravelling ou their own
account, however, and find that we live
a little better here than they do in the
large cities.There find that wearing ap-
parel boughtlihere compares favorably
with whatjthey see in Toronto or Mont-
real or New York. Our homes are just
as comfortable:and just as tastefully fnr-
niehed. One point is partionlarly im-
pressed on the observer, and that is that
with an equal income a man can live
much better here than in the large cities.
Taxes, rents,:eatables and wearables are
all cheaper. So they are glad to be citi-
zens of Wingham and are true to the
interests of :our town. They buy at
home.
Are you a citizen:or a parasite?

To Farmers and Farmers' Wives
WHERE ARE YOU BUYING YOUR SHOES ?
ARE YOU FAIR WITH YOURSELF ?
You may perhaps think the latter a peculiar question to ask, but did you ever
think that you possibly are not doing the best you could ?
For instance : We deal in nothing but Shoes, and are unquestionably in a
better position to sell you good Shoes and show you a bigger and better selection
than stores which sell a little bit of everything.
The Fall is now at hand. You will need good Shoes, and if you are not already
one of our customers we feel confident in saying we can do better for you in Shoes
than the average store.
7 Reasons why you should deal with us :
1. We make a specialty of Shoes—nothing but Shoes.
We hase Shoes made especially for our trade (different entirely from or-
dinary store shoes), with solid counters, no cut-off toes, fully equal to
hand made Shoes and much lower in price.
3. We sew all rips on Shoes bought from us free of charge.
4. We tack the bottoms on all Shoes bought from us free of charge.
5. We have a selection equal to the biggest city stores.
6. We sell at the lowest possible prices consistent with safety, and at one
price to all.
7. We take butter and eggs in trade.
Put us to the test We are anxious to show you that we can verify the above.
